Project Guinea

Group Laiengee is an ensemble for children with disabilities in Conakry, Guinea, West Africa. The director is Alsaney Camara who resides in Conakry and Tasana Camara who is a community musician in Gainesville, Florida. The philosophy behind their approach to music is that all human beings have an innate responsiveness to music similar to that of the infant and the sound of its mother. This natural instinct remains intact even when there are challenges of life brought by physical, cognitive, or emotional disability. Musicality is a basic human characteristic in people, cultures and a binding element in the socialization of a community.
